Today we make another experiment with orchid setups, the famous semi hydroponics, with a bit of customization.
▼▼▼More info bellow!▼▼▼
If you never heard about this growth technique, here is a lot more inf on the subject http://firstrays.com/semi-hydroponic-culture/general-semi-hydroponics-information/semi-hydroponics-basics/
This setup implies the use of a pot without drainage, but with some holes on the sides, raised from the bottom of the pot. A reservoir is present and the leca pebbles are always in contact with water at the bottom. Through capillary action and evaporation, the water is delivered to the surface.. not always :P
Due to my environment I had to customize it a bit. I am using shorter pots, higher reservoirs and small leca pebbles. So far so good, but we will see how to fix other issues in the future.
